I see. So the directories you talk of are not yet present, presumably I create them at my leisure?
What about ROOT? Why when I create webapps/mydir/myfile.jsp and load it into the browser is it not accessible? (404) Must I define a WEB-INF for each app under webapps? What must it contain?
Thank you

yes, each webapp has its own web.xml, you can use that among other things to define your servlets, taglibs, resource-refs.
unjared classes go into /WEB-INF/classes directory, jars go into /WEB-INF/lib
How long a web.xml can be depends on how many things you wish to put in there. I think the tomcat doc has a section on best practices deployment. It *should* come with your installation of tomcat.

Hi folks,
I have installed TC 4.1 and have it apprently installed correctly. Can anyone tell me the significance of the WEB-INF dir please?
Also, must everything run under webapps/root/..? I am presuming WEB-INF holds configuration / class libraries for each app? Yet there is a single web.xml, file 6 lines in length?
Will someone please enlighten me?
E.
